For those of you who don't like Jim Davidson that's your right, just as it's Jim's right to say what he thinks, he's not asking you to like it. An absolute brilliant eulogy from one legend to another
The amount of times jim mentions Jethro in conversation over the years shows his respect to the great man. Speech was as genuine and from the heart as you can get
An absolutely amazing comic. You probably get his humour more if you come from a small town/village. I was lucky enough to see Jethro twice. Thanks for all the laughs. Sleep well.
Their friendship was a long one and very special to both of them. What an emotional and perfectly balanced tribute to his friend, I don't know how Jim kept it together there because I certainly didn't.
That's absolutely beautiful, what a tribute to a really dear friend. I don't know why the British have turned against Jim, he seems to me to be a lovely bloke with a big heart.
Well said Jim beautiful tribute to an incredibly lovely man you can see how close you 2 really was there in your eyes an as Jethro would famously say that lovely that is isn't it isn't that lovely lady's and gents eh nice that is bless him bloody loved Jethro an will really miss him think I've got just about all his dvds from rule Britannia onwards an went to see him 3 times live at Skegness bloody fantastic don't matter how many times I see him he still made me laugh timeless comedy an I will never ever forget when he sang why dogs go around to sniff other dogs butts that song will never age rest in peace Jethro an fly free as Jim says, you've more than earned it and well said Jim your a lovely man nice tribute again.
Excellent tribute from Jim Davidson. I first saw Jethro before he was famous, doing a turn, at the Lantegos Farmhouse Hotel in Dorset or it may have been Devon over forty years ago. He was funny and talented then and remained so throughout his life. I’ve seen him live in theatres in Norfolk and of course on the telly. Likewise with Jim D. Both great guys and an obvious feeling for each other.
Jim, the hope of heaven if we trust Christ as saviour and Lord. What a hope but not just a hope a certainty. Romans 10v13 for whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
What a wonderful tribute by Jim Davidson who gets too much bad press when in fact is a lovely man that does loads for his fellow man from helping service men and women to the lifeboat crews and the like nice one Jim
IV seen Jim live twice, both times in the Army all free of course.. he,s been a supporter of the British Military for a very long time.. first time in Belfast Grand Central Hotel, British army HQ Belfast I saw him in 1979-80...stand tall Jim you,ve lasted the course.
Well said, Jim. Love the closing section in particular, the butterfly analogy and the hope that one day we'll all see each other again. Very thought provoking.
While They Really Were a right pain in the arse tbh, I've had so many Near Death Experiences on the other side, thanks to bloody eye drops for Glaucoma, causing so much excess Sinus Fluid that I was Drowning in my Sleep Every night, I must admit, the other side is Fantastic ! So much so that I wanted to Stay, rather than face Drowning every bloody Night. Talk about Unexpected, but I'll try not to spoil the Wonderful Surprise, so I'll just mention one place I went to, best described perhaps as the - Outside The Box University - like a huge copy of the Empire State Building, though with a much bigger floor plan, and thousands of Floors. That place I really want to go back to. As an aside, I did finally get the Drowning in my Sleep Under Control. Cigars worked, but I can only face about two of them a year, but best are Manufactured cigarettes. Roll Ups too moist, and Vaping no good either. But about 10 a day seems to nail it. If they kill me a bit early ? Well I won't have to come back will I . No Rush though, as amazing things are set to start happening here, and must admit, it'd be nice to still be here for them. Love and Best Wishes to you All.❤ Bob in Wales. 👍✨️✨️✨️
I knew Jethro myself and he was a lovely man. He was giving me a lift home in the Land Cruiser, I lived in Camborne, and I asked him how did he get the idea for the Camborne Train joke? He said he didnt really know it just rolled off the tongue, he also added that he had never even been to Camborne station and yet he dined out on that joke for years and years!!! I asked him to throw me out at Tescos as we approached Camborne and he just laughed and laughed, he thought that was really funny....I actually meant it!!!! That's the thing about Jethro's jokes they are based on real life situations. He is a story teller, the best. He is greatly missed . Nice Tribute from Jim.

@@bfc3057 well if you knew anything about Jim Davidson you would know that he has stated he would never bring back the Chalkie character as no one talks like that anymore
Jethro turned up in our pub one Sunday evening on his way home. He only wanted to spend a penny but stayed for several hours . I laugh3d and cried till my belly ached ❤
I took my dad to see Jethro as he's a big fan but not one for going to shows. We stood near the bar before the show and Jethro started his walkabout. He came over to my dad to say hello. Now in his younger days dad worked with horses and Jethro had horses, so dad asked him about his horses Well I think Jethro must have been pleasantly surprised and they stood there for ten minutes chatting about horses. Made dads night.
Lovely. Saw Jethro at Anne’s estate young farmers event, and glad I did. Jim is another special man; sidelines and undervalued by todays media but still a diamond in our hearts.
Well said Jim, held it together & paid a great tribute 👏👏👏, jethro was original, bit like Tommy Cooper, you just laughed before they even spoke or told a joke, because there just funny men, RIP Thanks for the memories
I didn't know till coming across Jim's tribute that Jethro had passed. Condolences to his family & friend. He was a great comedian and will be missed..RIP Jethro.
For those of you who don't like Jim Davidson that's your right, just as it's Jim's right to say what he thinks, he's not asking you to like it. An absolute brilliant eulogy from one legend to another

What a great speech Jim, you did your great friend proud
What a beautiful, heartfelt tribute from one comedian to another, one dear friend to another. Well said Jim. "Go Fly Jeff"
An absolutely amazing comic. You probably get his humour more if you come from a small town/village. I was lucky enough to see Jethro twice. Thanks for all the laughs. Sleep well.
This is a beautiful heartfelt tribute to your good friend Jim...
I had the privilege of seeing Jethro only three times, all at folk festivals and he was hilariously brilliant, he will be sorely missed.
I spent many a fabulous night at Jethro s club in Cornwall, whilst living there for 10yrs ,he was a absolute gentleman ,and a pleasure to meet ,❤
Their friendship was a long one and very special to both of them. What an emotional and perfectly balanced tribute to his friend, I don't know how Jim kept it together there because I certainly didn't.

Superbly delivered Jim. A sad loss to the planet, but you did him proud there Jim lad
What a caterpillar calls death,,,A wise man calls a butterfly...WOW! RIP Jethro.
jim your sentiments are great.. sorry for your loss.
Saw Jim last week in Babbacombe. He must have told 4/5 Jethro stories in his show. You got the feeling he loved that man. Sad loss.
How much love. I don't need to say anymore. Thanks Jim
What a wonderful heartfelt eulogy, nice one Jim!
Words from a true friend!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Jim.... Wonderful dribute to a wonderful man. 😢
Now that’s a real eulogy. I trust Jim has said his admiration for Jethro to the man himself.
The stories are what makes Jethro or anyone for that matter, the real person.

Another great loss ,Jim Davidson gave him a great send off@@patrickmurray5370
unfortunately his profession & the Media in general dislike him with a passion because he holds conservative views and that's enough for them !
@@dickyt1318....there's also issues surrounding domestic violence towards two of his ex-wives

Brilliant tribute jim we all miss cornish legend may he rest in peace 🙏
I can´t say I´ve ever been a fan of Jim Davidson, but this heart-felt and intelligent eulogy has made me see him with different eyes.
Jim is a true gentleman, he can be as serious and sincere as he can be funny, a true BRITISH GENTLEMAN 👍

As with most top comedians, there's an eloquence and intelligence that drives that razor sharp wit. Jim Davidson is the epitome of this.
@NIckster_P That must be the first time a comment contains the words "Jim Davidson" and "intelligence".
